Sequelitis

I've already written about the hyperactive and crude youtube personality Egoraptor, but failed to express his passion for video games that fuels his ridiculous parodies. Years ago, Egoraptor began a short series of videos that broke down games from a game design aspect. Focusing on the game experience as a whole, 'Sequelitis' takes a game through a point by point analysis and shows exactly how a game fails or succeeds. Despite the raw and immature humor, the thought that is put into these videos is incredible. Egoraptor really highlights the subtle and elegant nuances that build a player's experience.

Egoraptor had a fresh perspective and an eye for detail so it is unfortunate that he only made four of these videos. Still each serves as an example on how thoughtfully and honestly critique a game's basic design. As mentioned in an earlier post there are other videos that have gone further to discuss game design.

Currently, Egoraptor has taken his love of video game parodies and now performs with Starbomb, a group of parody artists that focus in on video game culture.
